Ganga Prem HospiceGanga
Prem Hospice is a spiritually orientated, non-profit hospice for
terminally ill cancer patients. The Hospice provides medical, social,
emotional and spiritual support for individuals and their loved ones as
they face life threatening cancer and in their ongoing grief.

The
Ganga Prem Hospice is unique in the sense that it is being created to
add other dimensions to the concept of hospice, i.e. the dimensions of
spiritual care and holistic treatment. The Ganga Prem Hospice
exemplifies a rare and valuable fusion between medical excellence and
spiritual perception. Eminent oncologists from Delhi have joined with
spiritual seekers and holistic therapists in the Rishikesh area to
alleviate the physical and emotional pain of cancer patients and their
grieving families.

Location
The Hospice is being constructed at the foot of the Himalayas near to
the town of Rishikesh, which is famous not only for its spiritual
culture but also for its many well-developed holistic centres.

In
this beautiful and serene setting, the Hospice staff will endeavour to
create a safe and supportive environment in which patients and
relatives can be helped to come to terms with unresolved issues of
their life and the difficulties involved in the impending death. An
extensive support programme will also reach out to relatives and
friends in their bereavement.

Facilities
The Hospice will offer terminally ill cancer patients first-class
medical facilities with a choice of allopathic and non-allopathic
treatment. The staff will include cancer specialists, professionals
from holistic care systems, physiotherapists, dieticians and
specialists in complementary medicine techniques such as yoga and
aromatherapy etc.

We propose to make a Hospice
equipped with up to 30 beds. The Hospice will
also have a library cum reading room, a meditation
and prayer room as well as a T.V. and recreation
room. The Hospice will have mortuary facilities.

Eligibility
Patients will be eligible for admission to the Hospice only when they
have a certificate from the attending oncologist that they have
progressive or incurable cancer and a life expectancy of six months or
less.
